But instead of leading the 'Hawks on a valiant drive, Patrick Chung picked off Manning and took it back to the house to seal the game. The interception was Manning's 4th of the game, and his 5th would lead to a late FG resulting in the 27-9 final scoreline. Now at 7-7, the Bills still have a shot at the division title or the #6 seed. The current 6-spot belongs to the Tennessee Titans at 8-6, and the Titans actually hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over Buffalo.

Buffalo's other hope would be to defeat Miami in W16 while having the Jets get upset by the San Diego Chargers.
